Daimler Trucks North America has announced that it has secured more than 10,000 orders for new vehicles equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) emissions technology.

SCR is an exhaust aftertreatment system that brings the vehicles in compliance with stringent EPA2010 emissions standards.

The system practically eliminates NOx emissions and the manufacturer says it also improves fuel economy by up to 5% compared to previous designs.

Every new Freightliner Cascadia, Coronado and line of M2 business-class medium-duty vehicles are now available with Detroit Diesel BlueTec or Cummins SCR emissions equipment.

“SCR is the industry’s premier solution for meeting the 2010 emission requirements, and our customers are already benefitting from the technology,” said David Hames, general manager, marketing and strategy for Daimler Trucks North America.
